Abstract
Abstract In a driving control method for a synchronous reluctance motor, a novel vector control method is employed which does not need the salient pole position angle detector. More particularly, the present invention provides a vector control method which can accurately and efficiently estimate cosine and sine signals, being rotation signals for the vector rotators.A flux vector estimator 12a uses voltage and current information of a stator to estimate a stator flux vector by dividing it into an in-phase flux vector having the same direction as a current vector and a mirror-phase flux vector determined as a difference between the stator flux vector and the in-phase flux vector. A cosine and sine generator 12b uses the estimated in-phase and mirror-phase flux vectors to generate the cosine and sine values of an intermediate angle of the angles of such flux vectors and outputs a rotation signal of the vector rotators. Thus, vector control is established.
